George Leo Haydock, on Song 3:10

“The pillars thereof he made of silver, the seat of gold, the going up of purple: the midst he covered with charity for the daughters of Jerusalem.”

“Going. Protestants, “covering of it of purple.” (Haydock) — Death must be endured, if necessary, for the sake of the faith, as this is the highest degree of charity. (Worthington) — He, &c. Hebrew, “is prepared for the beloved above the,” &c. See Homer, Odyssey v. 660. (Calmet) — Protestants and Pagnin, “the midst thereof being paved (Montanus, set on fire) with love for (Montanus, by) the daughters.” (Haydock) — The most desirable things adorn the litter, or the Church, that all may come to her, who has God to guide her decisions. (Menochius)”
